Road Not Taken hitting PS4, PC August 5

Spry Fox's stylish roguelike puzzler Road Not Taken will launch for the PlayStation 4 and PC platforms in August, the studio revealed today.

Road Not Taken is an overhead-view adventure game in which players have a limited number of in-game years to solve environmental puzzles, befriend NPCs, and advance the game's evolving narrative before death claims their character. An energy mechanic defines gameplay throughout, as players must carefully weigh their options in order to avoid burdening their character with too much physical strain.

Road Not Taken will debut in the PlayStation Store and on Steam August 5. A PlayStation Vita version will launch this fall.

Road Not Taken Info

Description

Road Not Taken is an original puzzle game about life and loss that is currently being developed by Spry Fox! Adventure through a vast, ever-changing forest in the aftermath of a brutal winter storm. Will you find your way?
You play a ranger in a frigid, enchanted forest, trying to save lost children. You start with a few easy-to-learn abilities. You can pick up any adjacent objects, you can carry them around, and you can throw them. Trees, boulders, bears — they all float at your command. But you need to be careful; whenever you carry things, it costs you stamina. If you run out of stamina, you collapse face-first into the snow. No checkpoints, no reloads. It’s over.
